A nightgown model and a soap opera star meet in Valselo, a Croatian village where millions believe the Mother of God appears to three visionaries. Yugoslavian born Maya Lidovic owns Intimate Whispers, a New York based sleepwear company. Determined not to lose her faith in a secular world, she spends her vacations leading tours in Valselo where her parents run an inn. Colin O'Reilly plays heartthrob, Dr. Brock Stone, on the soap opera Tides Of Tomorrow. Through various setbacks in life he's managed to keep God first. But now he's furious at God for taking his mother. Colin doesn't believe that God has sent the Virgin Mary to earth with messages of hope. He doesn't believe that God cares about the world. A series of apparitions, prophetic dreams and earthy attraction draw these different people together. Human frailties obscure the intention of the call that brought them to their destinies.

Faith filled and fun!

Format:Paperback
I truly enjoyed my experience of reading Jewel of the Adriatic by K.M. Daughters. Let me say, up front, that the book contains the fictitious account of a Marian appearance. The authors are careful to point out that while their novel is based upon and inspired by their travels to the sites of approved Marian apparitions, the book is indeed a work of fiction.
That being said, this is a story of faith, of healing and of growing love - both for another person and in one's own relationship with God. The main characters must each overcome trials from previous broken relationships and hurts to truly learn to love themselves and one another.
The story is light, fun and quick paced, which enables the reader to become quickly engrossed in the story to the point that I read the book in two sittings and was left wanting more of this story and of these characters.
I sincerely hope that K.M. Daughters will follow up with either a sequel or with another work of faith inspired fiction.
Thank you for a lovely reading experience!

Colin and Maya's journey though faith and love can only be described as awesome. With a vibrant and beautiful setting on the Adriatic coast and believable characters you root for and at times cry over and wish to bash their heads together, this jewel of a story is not to be missed.
